BETA IS ENDING SOON  (5 DAYS AT MOST ESTIMATED) - Please bear this in mind if this is a primary factor in purchasing a rank.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since this was last discussed, however we are now at a stage where our survival server is available for beta testing to any donators. The length of this beta period is undetermined as of yet: it will last at least 1 week, however will last as long as it takes to get survival to a stage where all known bugs have been fixed.

In order to gain access to the server, you must have purchased a rank on the store. Then, go to http://buy.theburrow.net, click the 'Extras' button on the nagivation menu, and then the 'Extras' button again. This will prompt you to enter your username, and once you have, you will be taken to a category page with a 'Survival - Whitelist' item in the category. This is a free item (requiring a rank to get), and once added to cart & checked out, will schedule the server to add your username to the server whitelist, after which you will be able to access survival through the /server survival command (use /hub to return to hub, and /server creative for creative).

Please note that as this is a beta period, things may not work properly: there may be some issues with permissions, or other things not working. In this case, we reccomend that you let us know (either through the forums, Discord, skype, or email [email protected] ) about the issue so that it can be fixed. Any feature requests will also be taken into account through those contact methods - again, this is still a pretty basic server setup currently, and we're hoping to have it's path foward shaped by user feedback. Please note, as this is a testing period, and whilst this is extremely unlikely, if we discover any serious bugs (e.g. item duplication), we reserve the right to reset the world & player data, and also may remove plugins without any prior notice.

To any non-donator, once the beta period is over, you will be able to access the server. Any rank purchases after this post are still eligable for participating in the beta too.

Happy New year to everyone, and hopefully this update is one of the many new things coming to our server in 2018.
